ABSTRACT
During the 2008–۲۰۰۹ financial crisis, firms with high social capital,
as measured by corporate social responsibility (CSR) intensity, had stock returns that were four to seven percentage points higher than firms with low social capital.
High-CSR firms also experienced higher profitability, growth, and sales per employee relative to low- CSR firms, and they raised more debt.
This evidence suggests that the trust between a firm and both its stakeholders and investors,
built through investments in social capital, pays off when the overall level of trust in corporations and markets suffers a negative shock.
“The present financial crisis springs from a catastrophic collapse in confidence . . .
Financial markets hinge on trust, and that trust has eroded.”
—Joseph Stiglitz (2008) “The fundamental problem isn’t lack of capital. It’s lack of trust.
And without trust,
Wall Street might as well fold up its fancy tents.”
—Former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich (2008) Karl V. Lins is at the University of Utah.
